Play your Craftmaps.world world in Minecraft Bedrock
Craftmaps.world generates a Bedrock world from the same real-world selection used for its Java export. Start in the world generator, select a place and make your world. Once it is ready, choose the Bedrock download to save a .mcworld file.
Import the downloaded file
- Save the Bedrock .mcworld file on a device with a compatible Minecraft Bedrock installation.
- Open the downloaded file with Minecraft. On supported desktop systems, double-clicking the file may start the import. On mobile, your file manager may offer Open with or Share to Minecraft.
- Wait for Minecraft to finish importing, then look for the world in your world list.
The exact file-opening controls depend on the device and operating system. Keep the .mcworld extension. Console editions can restrict direct file imports; this guide does not promise direct installation on every console.
Preview before you import
Explore your world shows a 3D preview in the browser after generation. The viewer represents saved blocks with simplified colours and cube geometry. It helps you inspect the selected area before downloading, but it is not a running Minecraft game.
If the import fails
Check that the download completed and that you selected the Bedrock file. A Java ZIP archive uses a different format. Make sure the file opens with Minecraft Bedrock and that your Minecraft version supports the generated world. Keep a copy of the original download before making changes.
Map coverage and detail
Mapped terrain, buildings and supported geographic features come from open data. Detailed models are only available in some places; incomplete information can use reconstructed blocks. The data and accuracy guide explains these differences.
For a different edition, follow the Minecraft Java world guide. For selecting an area and generating your first map, read how Craftmaps.world works.
